"Then why did the old grandpa refuse to be promoted?」Sasuke's curiosity was piqued.
"Sasuke, you can't be so rude ~ Mr. Furusuke might have something to hide.」Itachi stopped Sasuke from asking.
[It's not a secret in Muye. When I was young, I was in a hurry to advance, so I killed my teammates.
From then on, I swore that I would never advance again and decided to be a Genin forever. As a punishment for himself, he had to live with this belief.」
Gu Jie's voice was calm and kind, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
[Wow! The old man was really amazing! The fish is ready, eat the fish! When I'm in a bad mood, I'll feel better after eating some delicious food.」
This was perhaps the first time the pure and optimistic Xiao Li Zi had heard such a heavy topic. She was amazed by the obsession that Old Master Gu Jie had carried for nearly 50 years.
[You're really an amazing ninja…Aizen, I now understand what you meant by the definition of ninja!]」
Aizen smiled at Itachi.
Sasuke asked curiously,"Brother, what's the definition of a ninja?」
"Although it's still too early for Sasuke to understand it now, I hope you can remember what I said today. The so-called ninja refers to a person who has a strong will to endure all suffering."」
"Oh! Children nowadays were really amazing! This old man spent his entire life to understand the truth, but you already know it at such a young age.」
[Suffering? Wouldn't a ninja be able to use a lot of ninjutsu? Why was it that the ninja had to endure hardship?」Not only did Sasuke not understand, but Reiko, Ding Ji, Shikamaru, and the others were also baffled.
Aizen smiled helplessly."Perhaps you'll only understand when you grow up."」
"Hmph! Aizen is obviously the same age as me, but she's pretending to be an adult.」Little Lizi felt that she had been underestimated by Aizen and was a little unhappy.
…………
Ninja School.
For Aizen, the days passed peacefully.
In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the year 55, and Koizumi graduated. The Ninja School was particularly lively today. The graduates were all queuing up to receive their forehead protectors.
[Senior Quan (Sis), congratulations on your graduation!」* 2
Not only did Aizen intend to celebrate for Koizumi, even Ino and Sakura came to offer flowers for Koizumi. They had probably already discussed it beforehand.
Koizumi happily accepted the flowers and hugged them…Then he whispered in their ears,"[When I'm not in school, I'll leave Aizen in your care…]
Ino nodded solemnly."Don't worry, Sister Quan. We won't let those cheating cats get close to Brother Aizen!"」
Because Koizumi often provided her with information about Sasuke's family, Sakura had now completely become Koizumi's 'lackey.' She also said loyally,""I will help too. Senior, don't worry.」
[With you guys around, I can rest assured…Oh! Sakura, I met Aunt Mikoto when I went to the Senbei store last time. I learned that Sasuke doesn't like sweets and natto. Instead, he liked salty snacks like immortal shells.」
Xiao Ying's eyes lit up."I understand. Thank you so much, senior!"」
Ino glanced at Aizen behind him, walked up to him, and said softly,""I'll lend Senior Quan to Brother Aizen today ~ You don't have to thank me ~"
Lan Ran smiled helplessly.
Koizumi was a little shy.
…………
In fact, the Ninja School had only started to specially assign classes since the third generation of Ning Ci, Tian Tian, and Xiao Li. Before that, classes were actually assigned according to results.
Not every graduate had a Jounin. Most of them formed their own teams and accepted missions to accumulate experience. When the number of missions was enough, they would find a Jounin to recommend them and apply for the Chuunin exam.
If they were recommended by Jounin, they would only need to complete 8 missions to apply. As for a private party, they would need to complete 16 missions.
That was why the Chuunin exam was also known as the death exam. It was mainly because the threshold was too low. Many Genins applied to participate after completing 16 D-rank missions, but ended up as cannon fodder.
Now that the relationship between Uchiha and the village was tense, Koizumi would definitely return to the clan. However, none of Koizumi's peers could show up.
Although they were the same age, Weitake had graduated five years earlier and was now a double agent in the Dark Group. Even if he took ten thousand steps back, it was impossible for him to team up with Izumi.
Koizumi, who graduated this year, could only take on some missions by himself or with some seniors in the clan to weed, run errands, take care of children, find cats, walk dogs, and pick up trash.
Aizen was very happy about this. Perhaps it was because of his chauvinistic mentality, Aizen did not want Koizumi to carry out some dangerous missions.
………
[Congratulations on your graduation, Koizumi.] Lan Ran looked at Quan gently.
" Hmm…Thank you. You don't have to worry. I'll be careful when I do missions. When you graduate next year, we can team up and do missions. We can be together again!"
Koizumi's eyes were a little red. He was a little reluctant to part with Aizen because they had seen each other almost every day for five years. He was not used to a sudden separation.
Lan Ran gently wiped the tears on Koizumi's face and comforted him,"[It's just that we don't see each other often. It's not like we don't see each other anymore.
As long as we think of each other, we won't be lonely…
Today, Mother prepared a lot of delicious food to celebrate Koizumi's graduation. After the class allocation meeting, come to my house.」
Koizumi's face turned red. In the past five years, Mrs. Tanaka had completely treated her as her daughter-in-law, and Koizumi had long treated herself as Aizen's little wife.
Therefore, when he had nothing to do, Koizumi would follow Mrs. Tanaka to do housework and help Lan Ran wash clothes and dry the blanket. The clothes that Lan Ran was wearing now were washed by Koizumi.
Now that Aizen had fallen out of favor with Mrs. Tanaka, Koizumi had become the new favorite.
…………
Aizen thought about her future with Koizumi. Once a person accepted the other party's love, once they gave their love, this relationship would have the weight of responsibility...
Aizen could not help but laugh at himself. It seemed that the so-called " true fragrance " law was really powerful...
He didn't want to get involved in Uchiha's mess at first, but for Koizumi, he had to reveal some things in advance...
This must be the case where plans could not keep up with changes. Lan Zan seemed to see the ordinary daily life waving goodbye to him.
He sighed deeply and said to Xiao Yu,[Xiaoyu, my plan to 'eat the old man's house indefinitely' has failed. This is the power of love...]
[Didn't Master already plan this when he accepted Koizumi's confession... This is also the reason why you've been refusing to meet him and deliberately distancing yourself from him, isn't it...]
[Aiyaya ~ Xiaoyu saw through me…]
After the Uchiha incident was over, he would bring Koizumi over to his house…
